The diagrams illustrate how electricity is produced from coal.
Overall, this is a man-made linear process that uses coal as a fossil fuel to generate electricity. The process consists of several stages, beginning with the extraction of coal from a mine and ending with the distribution of electricity to households and industries.
Initially, coal is extracted from the mine and subsequently crushed into smaller pieces. These pieces are then fed into a gasifier, where they are heated and converted into gas. The resulting gas is then transferred to a cooling unit, where it is cooled to lower its temperature and separated from the waste heat.
Afterwards, the cooled gas undergoes a cleaning process to remove any remaining impurities and harmful substances. The purified gas is then transferred to a gas power plant, where it is used to generate electricity, with excess heat being released during the process. Finally, the electricity generated is supplied to households and industries, where it can be used for a variety of domestic and industrial purposes.
